Ian, What you are describing is definitely your mail server and not CF. CF would hand off *gobs* of mail to a server that can handle it, but apparentlyit can't given your observations.
I'll give you a couple of different options han you were given before. You will need server access for the last two. 1. get with your mail server admin and find out what the holdup is. If you are on a shared host this may get you nowhere. 2. Use MS SMTP, as was suggested. Take care to set it up so you con't create an open relay. Then make this mail server the one CF connects to in the CF Administrator. 3. Buy a 3rd-party mail server. iMS SE is probably the best of breed and is a dedicated SMTP tool. Myself personally, I used an extra IMail license I had sitting around for this; simply enabling only the services from that product I needed to send mail, and then pointing CF to it. -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:197045 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
